The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Yamaguchi sneered and looked out at the blue sky and white clouds through the glass window.

"In the end, won't we also have to retaliate? And if the Mitsubishi Group finds out that it is us who are retaliating, they will definitely retaliate in kind. In the end, our Yamaguchi-gumi will still have to fight against the entire Mitsubishi Group."

"In that case, what difference does it make whether we know which high-ranking official is selling the Type 12 anti-ship missile or not? In the end, we'll all be facing the Mitsubishi Group anyway."

"Moreover, the Mitsubishi Group has always been our competitor. Do you really believe they didn't know their missiles were being smuggled and intended to be used against us?"

"Keiko, as the vice-leader of our Yamaguchi-gumi, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

"When facing someone weaker than yourself, you can use money, power, and influence to suppress them! But when facing someone stronger than you, you can only intimidate them with sufficient strength!"

"If our Yamaguchi-gumi doesn't retaliate fiercely this time, the Mitsubishi Group might not be so careless next time!"

Upon hearing Yamaguchi Dai's words, Sato Keiko nodded involuntarily.

Indeed, the Mitsubishi Group is virtually all-powerful in Japan. Even many high-ranking government officials are their protectors. Moreover, the Mitsubishi Group has long been a tool for government departments to amass wealth, using money to help their protectors suppress competitors, seek profits, and at the same time transfer benefits to their protectors.

So, if the Mitsubishi Group were gone, where would those greedy politicians go to make money?

Similarly, the Yamaguchi-gumi, with its large number of members and influence, also has connections with many politicians who help them eliminate dissidents in order to gain sufficient benefits and advantages.

Therefore, the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Mitsubishi Group are competitors in some respects, and they will spare no effort to see each other suffer.

Yamaguchi even believes that the Mitsubishi Group might know who they sold their Type 12 anti-ship missiles to, and even know the other party's purpose, and deliberately sold them to them in order to attack their Yamaguchi-gumi!

Since the Mitsubishi Group is making this move on the first day of the month, then don't blame the Yamaguchi-gumi for making it up on the fifteenth!

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Kingdom, in Haicheng, at the Ye family's residence.

As Ye Qingyan listened to the descriptions from Luo Qingyue, Su Shiyu, and others who had just returned from Qianri Kingdom, her delicate brows furrowed slightly before relaxing.

"It seems that A-Yuan already has a good grasp of the situation, but there are still some areas that need improvement, which is why he plans to stay in Thousand Days Kingdom to oversee things personally."

Luo Qingyue nodded.

"That's true. Before we set off, I asked Ye Linyuan, and he said he was 70% confident in overthrowing the Qianri Kingdom's regime."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxin nodded, somewhat sighing.

"Seventy percent? That's already very high. As expected of our A-Yuan, he's really amazing."

Hearing everyone praising A Yuan's abilities but no one seeming to care about his safety, Su Shiyu couldn't help but speak up.

"Don't you all care about A-Yuan's safety? He's in a foreign country. If something happens to him, we won't be able to rescue him in time."

"Don't worry, since A-Yuan dared to stay there, it means he has prepared an escape route. A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. A-Yuan must be very confident to choose to stay in Thousand Sun Kingdom."

At this point, Ye Qingyan turned her gaze to Xiao Ruoxi, who looked worried.

"By the way, Ruoxi, are Xiao Wuji and Xiao Tianze still in Qianri Kingdom? Are they planning to return soon, or are they coming back with Ayuan?"

Xiao Ruoxi looked up at Ye Qingyan and then spoke.

"My great-grandfather initially wanted them to come back first, but the two of them decided to stay with Yuan Ge until the end, and my great-grandfather agreed."

Liu Yanran said with a smile.

"Old Master Xiao is willing to place the two most outstanding young members of the Xiao family by A Yuan's side, which shows that the Xiao family is completely on A Yuan's side this time, so everyone doesn't need to worry. Old Master Xiao's vision is so ruthless. His decision shows that he believes there will be no danger in the Thousand Sun Kingdom."

Upon hearing Liu Yanran's words, Ye Qingyan, Ye Qingxin, Ye Qingcheng, Ye Xi, Ye Xin, An Wangshu, Su Shiyu, and others all nodded involuntarily.

They still have great faith in the decisions of the older generation.

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. Now it's time to take action against the Mitsubishi Group in the stock market according to plan."

Ye Qingyan spoke up.

"As for the bait, it has already been laid. Now it's just a matter of when the Mitsubishi Group will take the bait."

At the same time, in the securities trading department of the Mitsubishi Group, Eiichi Takahashi stared intently at the large screen, his voice trembling with excitement.

"President, it's started! Maple Leaf Group's stock price has dropped by five percent!"

Upon hearing this, Kosaburo Mitsubishi put down his crossed legs, placed the wine in his hand on the table, walked to the large screen, and asked a question.

"What's Ye Linyuan's reaction now?"

Standing to the side, Yoshida Yudai couldn't help but frown.

"There's been no movement at the moment, which is strange. Maple Leaf Group's trading department is completely silent, as if they haven't noticed that we're shorting. But that shouldn't be the case. Maple Leaf Group is Ye Linyuan's business in the United States, and it's capable of reaching a market value of hundreds of billions of US dollars. It's impossible that they don't have this much sensitivity."

Hideaki Ida, unusually, agreed with Yuta Yoshida's suggestion.

"That's right, I think he's definitely up to something."

Kosaburo Mitsubishi waved his hand and sneered.

"Whatever tricks they use, this time we've deployed a full five hundred billion US dollars. What can they possibly use to stop us? Keep dumping! I'm going to halve their stock price before the market closes today!"

"Only in this way can we cut off Ye Linyuan's influence in the United States. At that point, let's see if the American military bases will still be protecting Ye Linyuan!"

"Hi!!"

As soon as Kosaburo Mitsubishi spoke, the traders, who were paid high salaries by the Mitsubishi Group, began to operate frantically.

As the Ye family's influence grew, Maple Leaf Group's stock price continued to plummet.

20%... 25%... 30%...

Just as it dropped below 35%, a sudden change occurred!

"President! Something's up!"

Eiichi Takahashi suddenly screamed, drawing everyone's attention back to the scene.

"What's the panic? Calm down. This was expected. Keep increasing investment!"

"We have plenty of funds, what's there to be afraid of! As long as we can acquire Maple Leaf Group, we can withstand any losses!"

"But President, now seven of the eight major families in the south of China have entered the fray: the Su family, the Xiao family, the Bai family, the Gu family, the Liu family, and the Mo family. Each of them has invested 1000 billion US dollars, while the Ye family and the Luo family from the capital of China have directly invested 5000 billion US dollars. Together, they have invested 500 billion US dollars, which is on par with our investment. If we add the 200 billion US dollars that Maple Leaf Group originally had in the market, that would be 5200 billion US dollars. After our initial expenditures, we have less than 4500 billion US dollars left. We are now at a disadvantage."

"Most importantly, they're not just investing this money in the Maple Leaf Group, they're directly shorting our Mitsubishi Group!"

As Hideaki Kageda finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire trading room turned cold, and Kosaburo Mitsubishi tightened his grip on his wine glass.

This is forcing Mitsubishi to come back and provide assistance!
